Do you know all the words to the first verse of “The Star-Spangled Banner?”

Asked at Borders, 700 N.H. on September 14, 2005

“I think I do, or I did at one time. I couldn't think of them right now.”

“No, but I can sing along when everyone else is singing.”

“Yes. I've had to sing it in some of the choirs I've been in. It's just something you grow up with. You usually don't think about it - you just sing it.”

“I can sing it with the music, but I can't remember the words without it.”
